Exposure of Anopheles mosquitoes to trypanosomes reduces reproductive fitness and enhances susceptibility to Plasmodium.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
During a blood meal, female Anopheles mosquitoes are potentially exposed to diverse microbes in addition to the malaria parasite, Plasmodium. Human and animal African trypanosomiases are frequently co-endemic with malaria in Africa.

Mapping the Insecticide Resistance Landscape of Malaria Vectors in Odisha, India (1993–2024): A Scoping Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Vector‐borne​ diseases (VBDs) are a serious threat to public health, globally. Different genera of mosquitoes, acting as disease vectors, transmit diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika fever, and others. Malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium species transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes.

Validation of a method for the dry preservation and rehydration of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato for parity analysis to assess the impact of vector control measures in the field

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background As the control of malaria remains heavily dependent on vector management interventions, it is important to understand the impact of these on mosquito populations.

Must Epidemiologically Impactful Vector Control Interventions Disrupt Mosquito Population Structure? A Case Study of a Cluster‐Randomised Controlled Trial

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Large epidemiological impacts resulting from disease vector control interventions are typically associated with significant disruption of vector populations. While vector density is a frequently measured response, impacts on demography and connectivity are suspected but rarely quantified.

Does artemether–lumefantrine administration affect mosquito olfactory behaviour and fitness?

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is the recommended treatment against uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infections, and ACT is widely used. It has been shown that gametocytes may be present after ACT and transmission to mosquitoes

Climate Change Favors African Malaria Vector Mosquitoes

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. This study investigates occurrence patterns of malaria mosquito species to predict how climate change will affect their range in sub‐Saharan African, where most malaria deaths occur.

Spatial distribution and ecological niche modeling of geographical spread of Anopheles gambiae complex in Nigeria using real time data

Scientific Reports, 2023
The need for evidence-based data, to inform policy decisions on malaria vector control interventions in Nigeria, necessitated the establishment of mosquito surveillance sites in a few States in Nigeria.

Oviposition Response to Light With Different Spectra in the Crepuscular Moth Grapholita molesta

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
The crepuscular moth Grapholita molesta can discriminate differences in light wavelength, exhibiting a strong preference to lay eggs in UV light. ABSTRACT The light spectrum is a critical visual feature influencing insect behavior. The crepuscular moth Grapholita molesta (Busck), a significant pest of stone and pome fruits worldwide, has been shown to ...

Multiple insecticide resistance target sites in adult field strains of An. gambiae (s.l.) from southeastern Senegal

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background High coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the cornerstones of vector control strategy in Senegal where insecticide resistance by the target vectors species is a great of concern.
